Oil output regulation seems to be just politics. When Americans want to put some pressure on Russians they call their best friends the Saudis and ask them to increase output and thus lower the prices so that Russia earns less from their oil output.

I can't wait for time when we're no longer dependent on fossil fuels.

I basically agree with this.

Though I believe that the idea that productivity, profits and prices should be regulated is generally supported by atheists. Is it not?

You are generalizing heavily here.

I don't know of any connotation between the two. What connotation do you know of? Where are you getting this idea from?

Atheists are as homogeneous as humans at large, same as Christians and Muslims, Europeans and Chinese. Reality is, given the existence and nature of communities, "left wing". Burning fossil fuels makes our climate unstable and puts the future of our species in peril, ergo, we should be weaning ourselves off it, funding alternatives to sustain our now complex societies. How that's simply a "left wing" position and not a conservative one I have no idea.
